We recommend using SWFObject to embed any players that will be accessed using the JavaScript API. This will allow you to detect the end user’s Flash Player version (the JavaScript API requires Flash Player 8 or higher), and also will get rid of the ‘Click to activate this control’ box when using Internet Explorer to view the player. To enabled the API in the SWF, you must pass in the parameter enablejsapi=1.

Why use Dynamic publishing

Description

Pros

Avoids ‘click-to-activate’ mechanisms in Internet Explorer 6+ and Opera 9+ and is easy to author (even without using this generator).

Cons

The embedding of Flash content relies on JavaScript, so if you have the Flash plug-in installed, but have JavaScript disabled or use a browser that doesn’t support JavaScript, you will not be able to see your Flash content, however you will see alternative content instead. Flash content will also not be shown on a device like Sony PSP, which has very poor JavaScript support, and automated tools like RSS readers are not able to pick up Flash content.
